The shrink-fit problem for aeolotropic nonlinearly elastic bodies (Q1805157)

The classical shrink-fit problem of linear elasticity for disks is extended to axisymmetric problem for aeolotropic nonlinearly elastic bodies of different constitution subject to arbitrary axisymmetric boundary conditions on the outer edge of the annulus. The authors show that these problems exhibit a remarkable richness in physical phenomena. It is also shown how to determine the qualitative properties, the existence of nonexistence, and uniqueness or multiplicity of all equilibrium states. A method is given to construct solutions for problems with several annular layers.
